Chapter 397 It's on the verge of fire!
Seeing the guards on the top of the city, they suddenly drew their bows and set up arrows. The soldiers brought by Dang Xinjue were horrified, and they also drew their bowstrings, aiming at the guards on the top of the city.

Dang Xinjue was slightly startled, he did not expect that Zhang Rui would dare to rebel, and quickly shouted, "Zhang Rui, do you want to rebel?"

Zhang Rui sneered, "You are the one who rebelled. As the guard of the city, you acted recklessly and harmed Zhongliang. I would have learned that you must set things right!"

When Dang Xinjue heard this, he gritted his teeth and was furious in his heart, but he also knew that this is not the time for internal strife, so he immediately shouted, "You and I each take a step back, how about it?"

Zhang Rui narrowed his eyes slightly, as if pondering, many lights flashed in his eyes, then he nodded and said, "Yes!"

Dang Xinjue immediately waved, "Take the bow!"

Many soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, quickly let go of their bowstrings, and put away their arrows.

The guards at the top of the city were waiting for Zhang Rui's order to withdraw their bows, but they heard Zhang Rui yelling, "Dang Xinjue wants to surrender the city, so I will lead my troops to kill him, sons, let the arrows go!"

Hearing the word "shooting arrows", some soldiers were just startled, and before they had time to think about it, the muscle memory formed over the years made them let go unconsciously, and the arrows flew out!
"Whizzing!"

Several soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, Dang Xinjue was terrified, and quickly dodged, screaming, "Zhang Rui conspired against him, capture and kill him quickly!"

The soldiers under the city wall dodged one after another. While dodging, they drew their bows to fight back, and the two sides fought.

Zhang Rui hid behind the wooden shield, snatched the hard bow of the soldier beside him, set the bow and set up an arrow, and aimed at Dang Xinjue who was fleeing fast.

He didn't choose to stop because he had no room to stop.

As the guard of the city, Dang Xinjue can back down a step, but after that, the other party will definitely send a letter to the Ministry of War to tell what happened today.

And he, even if he has a backer, will be punished by the court.

Therefore, it is necessary to kill Dang Xinjue and kill the other party who wants to sacrifice the city and surrender. Even if the Ministry of War investigates, there is no need to worry, the dead will not speak.

As for the other generals, they were dissatisfied with Dang Xinjue's irritable temper and often scolded his subordinate city guards, and no one would speak up for him.

This is why Zhang Rui pretended to give in, but rashly killed him.

"Whoosh!"

Zhang Rui let go, and there was a loud noise, and the arrow flew out, hitting Dang Xinjue's shoulder, piercing directly, only a few centimeters away from the back of the heart.

Zhang Rui was a little disappointed, so he could only shout, "Come down with me and kill Dang Xinjue!"

The opponent must not be allowed to escape back to the camp, otherwise, the situation will become complicated and it will be difficult to capture and kill the opponent.

There were not many soldiers who came with Dang Xinjue. They were crushed and beaten by the guards at the top of the city, and gradually dispersed.

With many soldiers, Zhang Rui rushed down the city wall and chased Dang Xinjue.

Unexpectedly, a group of people rushed forward, they were actually Dang Xinjue's confidantes, and they came to the rescue with their subordinates. The two sides handed over their soldiers and fought together.

At this moment, not far from the city, battle formations rushed towards them.

Above the battle formation, a pitch-black battle flag with the characters of Qin fluttered in the wind, making a sound of hunting.

During the battle, Qin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the chaotic city in the distance, with a calm expression.

This scene, as he expected.

On the other hand, Chen Yu was full of excitement. He did not expect that Zhen Shuai's divorce plan would really work.

He knew that the real purpose of Zhenshuai was to stir up conflicts between Dang Xinjue and Zhang Rui. The generals had already known about the disagreement between the two.

But it is not easy to take advantage of their differences and let them have internal strife.

Even if it is a distance meter, the effect is different if used early and late.

If it is used prematurely, and the city is stable, Dang Xinjue will definitely not take it seriously.

Only when he is in a predicament and people's hearts are floating, can Dang Xinjue be convinced that someone in the city wants to surrender.

This is the basis for the distance meter to work.

In addition, only when you are in a predicament, the despair is soaring, everyone is in danger, and the temper becomes irritable, can the internal strife be on the verge of breaking out.

Therefore, Qin Yi besieged the city for a long time, and didn't start using tricks until he realized that there had been changes in the city.

This kind of foresight and foresight, which is like a god and moves according to the time, is really admirable.

Not only Chen Yu, but also Sun Xingling, who was silent at the side, couldn't help but glance at Qin Yi, his eyes full of admiration.

Five miles outside the city, without delay, Qin Yi immediately waved his hand and ordered to attack the city!

Immediately, the war drums sounded, and the soldiers in front of the audience roared, pushing the ladders and rushing carts, and rushed towards the important city in the sky.

In the city, the guards at the head of the city had all descended from the city wall, and Dang Xinjue's subordinates were killing each other. When they heard the sound of the war drums, they were shocked, but they didn't dare to stop, so they could only continue to fight.

In the distance, Dang Xinjue heard the sound of war drums, and hurriedly shouted, "Zhang Rui, don't fight anymore, you and I will deal with the enemy first, how about that?"

At this moment, Zhang Rui's body was already covered in blood, and he was very angry when he was stabbed by the enemy soldier just now.

He knew that he had no way of turning back, and the enemy soldiers took the opportunity to attack, and the city would be destroyed, so he might as well surrender!

Thinking of this, he hissed, "Open the city gate, offer the city and surrender!"

Dang Xinjue was shocked, and quickly shouted, "Stop them, don't let them open the city gate!"

The two sides are fighting together again!
"Boom!"

Suddenly, the city gate made a piercing noise!
Everyone was horrified and looked around quickly.

Immediately afterwards, there was a louder rumbling sound, as if some huge and heavy object hit the city gate.

Everyone immediately understood that it was the enemy soldiers who were using the battering rams on the charging carts to continuously hit the city gate.

"boom!"

Before they could react, amidst the loud noise, the city gate burst and sawdust flew, exposing the enemy soldiers outside the city.

The city gate was breached, but Lin Zhan's soldiers did not rush into the city, but quickly moved out of the way.

Not far away, the black iron cavalry standing still came into the eyes of the guards of Tianyao City.

Seeing this team of cavalry full of murderous spirit, many guards couldn't help but feel chills in their hearts!

In the front row of black iron cavalry, a general in silver armor was sitting on the horse holding a spear. He slowly raised his other hand and made a fist.

"Yi Ziying, charge!"

With an order, the silver-armored general pulled the reins abruptly, rode his white horse, and galloped away.

The black iron cavalry then started, accelerating continuously, rushing through the city gate like a black tide, and swept away towards the many guards in the city!

In the city, the guards were terrified. How could they dare to challenge the enemy's cavalry? They fled in all directions.

While dodging, Zhang Rui hissed, "Shuai Qin, Shuai Qin, the villain led his troops to join us, please don't hurt me... Ah!"

A long knife pierced through his body in an instant, protruding from his abdomen, and blood spattered!

Putting more force on the knife, Dang Xinjue gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "You let me break the city, and I will kill you!"

As the pain hit, Zhang Rui gasped for breath, lowered his head slowly, looked at the long knife piercing his abdomen, his mouth started to bleed, but he laughed bloody, very scary, "Hehehe...you are stubborn...for your own use ...Small-minded...refusing to...tolerate others...you should think of...today..."

With a sudden draw of the knife, he glanced at the black iron cavalry who crazily beheaded the guards under his command. Dang Xinjue was full of resentment and didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly ran to the distance.

As soon as possible, escape from the other side of the city before the city is completely lost!

……

Prospecting Dynasty, Zhanjing.

Thirty miles outside the city, there is a dense forest.

The luxuriant branches and leaves in the forest covered the sunlight, making it quite dark.

A man came slowly from a distance with several attendants.

This person was dressed in a fine attire, and he was very imposing. It could be seen that he was either rich or noble. He walked all the way under the big tree, and then stopped.

At this moment, there was already a crooked old man under the tree. Hearing the sound, he slowly opened his eyes.

A sharp light flashed in his eyes, then disappeared and became cloudy.

"I am here, I have been waiting for you for a long time." The old man said slowly.

Without any politeness, the visitor said in a deep voice, "The military crossbow case has not been suppressed after all, Prime Minister Wu has found a clue."

The old man frowned and asked, "Then what should I do?"

The visitor narrowed his eyes slightly, his pupils were full of coldness, "We must deal with it in advance!"

Then, he whispered something to the old man, and the latter couldn't help asking, "Is he willing?"

The visitor nodded.

The old man responded, "I understand, I will make it look good for you!"

The visitor narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around without saying anything, and walked away slowly with his attendants.

The forest became silent again.

……

Zhan Jing, Ministry of Punishment.

In the lobby, Prime Minister Wu sat at the main seat, sipping tea gently, accompanied by the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and said, "Master Wu, there is really something wrong with the head of the utensils and materials warehouse. Under the command of my servant, thousands of gold have been found in his house." Two, the amount of money is huge, it can be seen that it was obtained through bribery!"

"But no matter how interrogated, this guy refused to invite him according to the truth, so the humble minister asked his subordinates to use torture tools..." Speaking of this, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment glanced at Prime Minister Wu, wondering if the other party would be displeased.

Wu Xiang nodded, but did not speak.

Although he does not advocate the use of punishment, but the case is serious, the other party is indeed suspected, and he refuses to confess, so the only way to deal with it is with severe punishment.

At this moment, the officials of the punishment room rushed into the hall, seeing the presence of Prime Minister Wu, quickly suppressed their urgency, straightened their clothes, and said respectfully, "I pay my respects to Mr. Minister Wu and Mr. Shangshu!"

Seeing the other party's urgent expression, Prime Minister Wu guessed something and asked, "But there is a result?"

The torture room official nodded quickly, "The prisoner has been recruited, and he is indeed cooperating with others to sell beef tendon privately, but he doesn't know who the beef tendon is sold to, and it's all managed by Geng Qing, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites!"

Hearing this, Prime Minister Wu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Send someone to walk with me."

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment hurriedly cupped his hands, "I understand!"

Getting up, Prime Minister Wu walked out of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. After getting on his horse, he led dozens of spy guards and police officers of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to quickly rush to Geng Qing's mansion.

The investigation work of the general manager of the utensils and materials warehouse was carried out secretly, and he was declared to be sick at home.

In addition, he once sent someone to lurk outside the mansion of the head of the utensil warehouse to prevent the news from leaking.

Therefore, this Geng Qing may not know that the matter has been revealed.

Not long after, Prime Minister Wu brought people outside Geng Qing's mansion.

Before he dismounted, he saw a person walking out of Geng Qing's mansion with many guards.

This man was dressed in fine clothes and had an extraordinary appearance. He took the reins from the boy and was about to get on his horse when he saw Wu Xiang standing on his horse not far away, looking quietly at him.

The pupils of the eyes shrank suddenly, and the man in the Chinese costume was a little flustered, but he suppressed it in an instant, and said with a forced smile, "Lord Wan, why are you here?"

"I also want to ask His Highness King Jing, why are you here?" Looking at the other side, Wu Xiang asked slowly, his pupils were extremely deep.

The man in fine clothes was King Jing, one of the three kings who went to toast to Qin Yi during the celebration banquet.

At that time, King Mu's hostility was still there, and King Rui's face was quite dark. Only King Jing was very enthusiastic about Qin Yi.

Hearing what Prime Minister Wu asked, Prince Jing said with a dry smile, "I have a very good relationship with Geng Qing. I heard that he has bought a new batch of good tea, so I came here to taste it."

"It seems that Your Highness is also a tea lover." Looking at Prince Jing, Prime Minister Wu's eyes were as deep as an abyss, flashing a strange light, as if he was penetrating people's hearts!
